Blue Skies, Blue Water, A Friday Afternoon in Caye Caulker

I am sounding a bit like a skipping record and am WAY over using the word GORGEOUS. Perhaps I need to switch things up a bit word-wise. But the weather in Belize right now is just perfection. Yesterday my friend and I took an early afternoon boat ride over to Caye Caulker.

Everyone seemed to be laying around just enjoying the sun. Even the potlickers…

Here are some pictures around Caye Caulker. Every time I go…which now seems to be about once a week…I take the same pictures over and over. But the caye is just SCREAMING to be photographed. Everything just looks so perfect to me.

Main Street at about 2pm.

A frozen coffee drink and bag of hot sugary donuts should be everyone first stop. At Ice N Beans.Licking my fingers, I headed down to the Split.

And definitely the world’s most beautiful busted down seawall.

We need some of these signs in San Pedro!

They have some EXCELLENT new floatie additions to the area.

I could enjoy the water and the breeze here all day but I headed out to find some lunch.

And I was drawn in by this very pleasant sitting area at Paradiso Cafe.

And then the GORGEOUS view (there’s that world again).

A simple menu but the food looked fresh and delicious…

I sat back in a comfortable seat…enjoyed a MASSIVE roast beef sandwich, heavy on the mustard and veg just like I like it and chatted with an Australian who works on the rigs in Alberta, Canada and is travelling around for a month.

Here’s the sandwiches close up.

Polishing that off, my friend and I went down to the Barrier Reef Sports Bar’s afternoon open jam session. We had about an hour before our water taxi home.

And just as we were about to leave…a 9 year old girl got up with her guitar and sang “Surfing USA”.

For a self-professed introvert, you sure do get around…and chatting with strangers too!

I didn’t start the conversation! I’m an introvert! But I do chat with strangers quite a bit…just not for EXTENDED periods. We come in all shapes and sizes…

About Me

My name’s Rebecca and over TEN years ago (!) I moved from Manhattan, NYC (where I worked as a bond trader at Lehman Brothers) to San Pedro, Belize. Holy crap, what a change. I spent a full year deciding if Belize was right for me, over 3 years managing a sometimes gritty bar & restaurant and now over 3 years travelling, living and writing this blog. As you can imagine, I’ve seen the good, awesome, bad and the ugly (though not often). I’ve got lots to say and so here’s my website and my daily blog.

I originally set out to show you all sides of life on the island of Ambergris Caye and now it’s time to expand to the amazing country of Belize. So much to see in one tiny country.

For more information on how and why I moved here, an estimate of how much it costs to live in San Pedro and advice about packing and planning, check out my post series about my expat life.
